Toffees too tough for Terriers
Beckford’s first goal since joining the Toffees from Leeds in the summer made victory certain at Goodison Park after their League One opponents had responded to early Marouane Fellaini and Jack Rodwell strikes.
A John Heitinga own goal gave Huddersfield hope at half-time but Beckford’s penalty and further efforts from Louis Saha and Leon Osman – after Lee Peltier had been sent off and Heitinga missed from the spot – settled the tie.
